‘e-merge’ _ a film-making mediascape

Enjoy a movie in the park, on your own, or with a friend or family. Pick up an ipaq and headphones from mediascape base at the ICA, and explore the park. Choose music especially commissioned for the piece, and wander around – you choose where to walk, how far, how fast – the music may encourage you to twist and turn as you meander the paths around the lakeside. When you’re ready, find a comfy place to watch your film – with images taken from the places you’ve walked, you may find a few surprises too! Make one long film, or several short films, and when you’ve finished we’ll upload a selection of films to the e-merge website http://www.e-merge-walks.com/ so you can watch again, show your friends, and compare films!
